| Hot Weather Policy Where the temperature at Port Augusta is predicted to be 38 degrees or higher for the day of the show on Weatherzone (www.weatherzone.com.au) the day prior to the show, then the show will be cancelled by 10am on the day prior. Eg If on Saturday the predicted temperature is 39 degrees for Sunday then the show will be cancelled 10 am on Saturday. Twilight shows – if the temperature is predicted to be 40 degrees or higher then the show will be cancelled. If the temperature is in the high 30’s the start will be delayed and will start with halter classes. We will decide by consensus on the day when the novelties will be run possibly after halter. Cathy will email confirmation of cancellation the night before. People can ring Emily Byerlee or Cathy Bornholm for confirmation of cancellation. |
||
| Reminder – If you intend to compete in registered halter classes you need to have lodged a copy of your horses papers with the secretary Cathy Bornholm before you can compete in these classes. She still has the copies of horses’ papers lodged last year. You can email copies to her but they need to be sent by the Thursday night before the show. Copies of Amateur Owner Cards also need to be lodged with the secretary | ||
| Ribbons – Once you have 25 ribbons of one colour you can trade them in for a large 25 Register of Merit (ROM) ribbon. You don’t have to wait till you have 25 ribbons, you can hand them in at each show and enter the number of ribbons handed in, in the RIBBON BOOK. Then when you get to 25 you can collect your ROM. This is a great fundraiser for the club requiring little work on members behalf and helps keep the costs down. Check out those cupboards at home and bring along your ribbons to the next show. White, yellow, brown and pink ribbons all count towards a white 25 ROM If you collect 4 ROMs of one colour you can then trade them in for a Century ribbon | ||
